A Filipino guy whose main personal interests are computers, photography, and technology. Having a family and a conservative disposition towards spending, he's either not able to afford or feels he can't afford his tech needs. As a result, he ends up (or feels he ends up) not having the tech he really needs most of the time and being left behind by updates, upgrades, and such all the time.

Apple Safari

I haven't tried it yet but soon. So what's the big deal about another web browser for Windows users? My take on this is... none really. Firefox is more than competent and version 3.0 is shaping up nicely. If there was no iPhone, there would be no Windows version of Safari. Some analysts say Apple is enticing users to come over to the Mac side of the fence. Maybe, but I think that's incidental. Sure, it can happen but the real deal right now is iPhone. The only way to develop apps for the iPhone is through Safari so that's where the action will be, if Apple gets its way.

Apple claims there have been 1 million downloads for the first 48 hours after its release. I say that's a victory for choice. Now, if only Apple will lower the prices of Macs....
